HESHER

The Anarchic Black Comedy Comes to DVD and Blu-Ray

By R. Peltier

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception) leads the dark comedy in the title role, an unconventional loner who hates the world and everyone in it and is more interested in starting fires than in finding a job.

Also starring Rainn Wilson (TV’s “The Office”), Devon Brochu (In the Valley of Elah) and Oscar® winner Natalie Portman (Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role, Black Swan, 2010), this dark comedy-meets-fairy tale, directed by Spencer Susser, was a film festival favorite ~ both an Official Selection of South by Southwest and a nominee for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2010.

Hailed as a “…delectably anarchic black comedy….refreshingly original” (New York Post) and a “…strange and twisted heavy metal meditation on grief” by screenrant.com, the film features the music of Metallica and Motorhead ~ plus pornography and burning sh*t to the ground; these are a few of Hesher’s favorite things, things he brings into the lives of TJ (Brochu) and his father Paul (Wilson) when he takes up residence in the garage…uninvited.

Grief stricken by the loss of TJ’s mother in a car accident, Paul can’t muster the strength to evict the strange squatter and soon the long-haired, tattooed, rusty-van owning Hesher becomes a fixture in the household.

Like a force of nature, Hesher’s anarchy shakes the family out of their grief and helps them embrace life once more.
